Stalhrim Quest Glitch : V

» Sun Feb 03, 2013 5:21 pm

So allegedly you need the blacksmith in Skaal village to get kidnapped. This doesn't happen. Allegedly (can't get confirmation) you need an NPC (who is killable) to talk to another NPC before the blacksmith goes missing.

This is highly annoying seeing as there's an achievement revolving around getting to forge Stalhrim and the only way to get the quest that lets you forge Stalhrim relies on a killable NPC that can easily be killed by accident early in the DLC. I think these are things that should be thought of before thrown in, like maybe more than one method of learning Stalhrim crafting.

I'm also stuck with this.

I've been trying to find a work around, but so far have had no luck. I did read somewhere that a possible solution would be to repeatedly ask the barman in raven rock for rumours untill he mentioned a missing blacksmith, but after trying this for a while I am not convinced this will work.

Oddly enough I had the same thought process but haven't had any success either.

My problem is if you talk to the npc before the conversation with the mayor of Skaal village finishes the two of them won't move from their spots and won't allow you to talk to the quest giver

I'm having the same problem too been doing random things then ill check the skaal village then go to the bartender but still no luck. yea i agree of how this quest gives you an achievement and a new item to craft but the quest giving part wasn't well made

I've tried random things but nothing seems to change...

From what I have read in the generals, if you interrupt the conversation between the 2 skaal who are talking about the kidnapping, then it bugs out and you do not get the quest. You might have to re-load to an earlier save.

I know that.. It's stupid.
They can't just.. Talk again ? ...
I don't have earlier saves... Sometimes I hate Bethesda...

Sorry to say this, no offense, but you cannot hate Bethesda because you did not save more often. :biggrin:

Nope, but I can hate Bethesda for the bugs. I hope it's going to be fixed..

Someone have founded a way to fix it ?

Up.

Please Bethesda, don't forget about this bug in the next update !

I have a different problem. I'm trying to talk to him to finish the quest and it won't give me any options to ask.

I had the same problem . I had to reload ......this is the second serious glitch i have gotten on dragonborn... the first prevented me from even completing the main dragonborn questline...... ive had to reload far back twice now ...i am severly annoyed

I don't have earlier saves...

Since the main way of fixing the issue is impossible for you: Gstaff posted the following for a different issue. It may be worth trying to reset the conversants this way?

Im also having the same problem and i have no previous saves, so im screwed in that case. ive also done all the things suggested in this forum so yeah... some new minds on this might not be bad.

You dont have to get the Achievement on that Character.
You can upgrade ones you find.

i have done this quest but after it, it didnt have the stalhrim catagory in the blacksmithing menu does anyone know what the hell i can do to get it there ??

» Sun Feb 03, 2013 10:08 pm

Same issue here. I only realised I couldn't do this quest 20+ hours after finishing the main dlc quests.

I can't find either Fanari Strong-Voice or Deor Woodcutter in Skaal Village. I've tried waiting outside of the Woodcutter house, hanging around the Great Hall etc. It's one of the last quests I need to do from the new dlc.

Has anyone offical responded yet?

I've tried waiting in skyrim for 30 days. Any other suggestions?

up.

Anyone got any other suggestions?

So Ive completed every other quest and still no Stalhrim quest, I looked on Wiki and you need the woodcutter + Strong Voice but I can't find the strong voice chick anywhere. I even searched the whole village at night going into every house and she is nowhere to be found. Weird thing is there are no empty beds though, aside from Frea's fathers bed.

So where is this chick located in the village, does she sleep in the hall? I was very careful during my playthrough to ensure that no one died during the cleansing of the stones so I have no clue what happened to her. Also I don't remember ever talking to her at any point so I am at a total loss.

yah i have the same problem with the quest not coming up and that the game freezes when i get in the cofffin during the "death incarnate quest"

» Sun Feb 03, 2013 3:45 pm

For me the NPC needed to start the quest is no where to be found. He may have gotten killed but don't recall if I ever encountered the wood cutter NPC in Skaal. I get the impression he never existed, at least in my game.
